toddjnsn Buffalo has been adjusting to their backup QB and our coach said that he has been improving through the last 3 games as they adjust the offense to him. Posted this about us on Monday on the realignment board , So much for UMass.

Agree with this. The issue is that miracle was made by adding first string players. We have just begun recruiting freshmen and building depth. The offense has been decimated with injuries with 2 QB out, 4 WR out, 1OL season ending and the list goes on include the preseason prime RB with Washington. The defense has injures as well, but MaGee is back, William Depaepe is out as the #1 edge rusher. Hence, coach Joe H has done a miracle recruiting with a 0-12 season last year and the depth will take time and start really showing up next year. Against Buffalo some practice squad players will be starting and freshmen will get some good experience.

All that said, we moved up 25 spots from last year and Pop is not out for the season and Joe Griffin could try to make it a go again.

OHIO @ SAC: This one is going to get real ugly for my Hornets. I don't think I am going to pick them again all year. Just not seeing any adjustments by the coaches to take advantage of the (lack thereof) talent level we have...which is not even decent FCS at this point. Bobcats looked good in their win over CMU at home. OHIO 45, SAC 10

BSU @ BGSU: Don't look now but Aye Ziggy is 2-0 in league. And a one-win Cardinal team is coming to the Doyt! Falcons will continue the latest rush and pick up a third-straight win. BGSU 27, BSU 17

UMass @ BUF: The difference is this: if Pop Watson isn't hurt, UMass would be 6-0 right now. A tough blow going for 2 and not converting is going to stick in their heads. The Bulls absolutely gobsmacked Toledo on the road and now look promising all of the sudden. BUF 35, UMass 17

WMU @ CMU: First of the 3 Michigan Directional Rivalry games. There should be a "Mitten-in-Chief" trophy for all of these schools. First up, the Broncos at the Chips. WMU rolled Kent this past Saturday at home, while Central had a tough slog in Athens. These teams look like their widening their gap...but, i smell an upset. Chips win on a walkoff. CMU 27, WMU 24

TOL @ EMU: The Eagles are 3-0 in league for the first time in 31 years. Read that again! Did anyone have that on their bingo card before the year? The Rockets got blasted into space at home by Buffalo that is just as confusing as the logic because UT definitely looked like the best team in the league. What happens in Ypsi? EMU continues the dream season and picks up the dub. EMU 34, TOL 24

UA @ M-OH: A few weeks ago, this was shaping up to be a pillow-fight game. The Redhawks have made sure that it isn't. And the Zips are still a soccer school. M-OH 31, UA 7

KSU @ USF: 2nd time in four weeks the "other" Bulls play a MAC team, this time hosting Kent. Will the skies in Tampa be as electric as the play on the field? Probably not, but USF is on another level compared to the Flashes. USF 21, KSU 10

Inching closer to #MACtion folks! Hope your Fall is off to falling leaves and cooling/soothing temps.

4-3 on the week. Whiffed on the BSU-BGSU and Directional Michigan teams. 49-21 on the year.

Hey, i was only 3 points off in our game...Ohio got those three instead of us
